Full Breakdown
The city's public works department picks up bulk items, furniture, mattresses, box springs, cabinets, and similar large items that won't fit in a 90-gallon cart, on a designated bulk item day, but caps each residential pickup at ten (10) bags and/or bulk items. Put out more than that and the extra goes through a special residential pickup instead, billed at the special-pickup rate ($84.31 per trip as of Oct. 1, 2023) set under Sec. 10.07(c). Multifamily properties don't get automatic bulk service, they must submit a prior written request to the public works director for a once-a-month bulk pickup, subject to the same ten-item cap.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the 10-item limit without scheduling a special pickup isn't itself fined, but the city can refuse collection, and any chapter violation makes the owner liable for the city's expenses, losses, and attorney fees (Sec. 10.13).
